  • Just found out a neighbour has had all her benefits taken away... She works part time at a local nursery and takes home less than two hundred quid a month...

    Two kids, partner that can't get a job and now they'll have to find the rent every month as well...

    Nice one, Dave... :(

  • Odd, that really shouldn't happen. sadly a lot of Citizens Advice places have been closed as central government finds it's savings by putting the squeeze on local government that funded these things.

    If you've got things right, she's likely to be eligible for something at least - http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/family/benefits-check should help check that she's getting what she's entitled to.

    Remember, an awful lot of benefits people are entitled to go unclaimed.

  • Yeah, we're gonna help out where we can... My other half helps the kids out with their homework and tutors them for free, they're awesome and she's a great mum... It's a despicable state of affairs really, penalised for working a few poxy hours part time... Pfff!
